College Football Picks
Despite a relatively short schedule college Football is the second most wagered on league in the United States behind the NFL. There are 129 teams in Division 1 football to handicap each weekend and unlike pro ball, everyone has a local team! This leaves bettors with dozens of games to bet on a weekly basis and an opportunity to be selective and focus on overall win percentage. Another advantage of the NCAA football schedule is that the majority of the games take place on Saturday, which doesn't intrude on the NFL Sunday betting card. NCAAF betting odds are generally released on the prior Sunday, which gives the experts here at Doc's Sports ample time to crunch the numbers, check our sources, and find the best bets for our clients throughout the season. Our college football experts offer free picks, expert advice on when college lines are ripe for the picking, and college football betting strategy. Doc's Sports has everything you need to be a winner in college football handicapping. From opening week to the end of the College Football Playoffs, we keep you in the winner's circle.

Get Your NCAA Football Picks All Week!
Doc's Sports offers customers daily free NCAAF picks along with picks from our experts every week from August through January's National Championship game. At Doc's we'll find betting value when other handicappers struggle with games that are not TV marquee matchups. We don't care if the game consists of two Top-5 playoff hopefuls with NFL future stars or a pair of mid-major teams full of folks about to join the regular workforce. We are only concerned with the betting value we can extract from any given football game, big or small. Doc's Sports handicappers do not limit their predictions to college football spreads. Our best bets will come in on different types of wagers. Following our College Football betting experts can allow you to make wagers using these different bet types. We can help you turn a mediocre season into the most profitable season with a higher volume of picks.
Free Football Picks Against The Spread + Moneyline Picks
Much like NFL betting, the majority of the action is on the spread. However betting value can be found on other bet types which we will explore here. If a bettor was to bet on one team outright, without the spread, he or she would be wagering on the moneyline. Moneyline bets do not involve a handicap of the final score. A moneyline bet is when the payout is adjusted for the team's odds of winning. An underdog moneyline will pay more than your stake while betting on the college football favorite means you will receive less. How much more or less depends on how much better the favored team is perceived to be than the underdog. For example, in the 2020 National Championship game, LSU was -200 versus Clemson.
Example: LSU (-200) vs Clemson (+160)
In this case LSU was favored by about 4. If you wanted to bet on LSU outright you would, at the worst, have gotten a price of -200. That means you would have had to risk $200 to win $100. Betting $100 on the Clemson Tigers meant you stood to win $160.
LSU was favored by 4 on the spread at normal vig, which is a price of -110. Of course, we could have bet on the Clemson Tigers +4 and didn't have to worry about them winning, as long as they lost by less than 4 points. We know how that turned out with the favorite covering and the sportsbooks losing a lot of money!
At Doc's Sports, we dive deep into each and every game to ensure we are betting not only the right team but also are doing so in the right way. Some games are better suited for money line betting while others are more easily exploited when wagering against the spread. Finding the best edge in football betting is the bottomline. We are betting into numbers, not into the teams that the public is itching for!
College Football Totals Picks
Betting football sides or money lines isn't the only way to bet on a College Football game. At times our NCAAF experts may offer a play on the total, AKA the over/under. This means that we are making a prediction on if the combined score of both teams will total up to be above or below the total score line set by the sportsbooks. When examining football totals, a common point of interest is how the skill positions on offense match up with the pass rush and secondary from the opposing team. Weather, pace, splits, and coaching schemes are also important when predicting the total points output for a given game. However like all betting lines, watching the market for the optimal total number is the most important factor. A game may be expected to be high scoring but if the total line is also very high, we may pass on that line... or wait until it goes down creating a margin between what is predicted and what is offered by the bookmaker.
College Football Parlay Picks
It's common to hear a disclaimer before any good handicapper talks about teasers and parlays. It usually starts off acknowledging that parlay bets are usually bad investments; that the sportsbook's margins are too high for players to win betting parlays long term; that bookmakers love when players bet parlays. These are all legitimate concerns when making football parlay picks. At Doc's we'll warn bettors about falling into bad parlay habits, especially when betting parlays with many teams. But selectively, betting parlays can also be a quality investment.
There are instances when you can find two very favorable lines at the same sportsbook. There is also an opportunity to make correlated parlay picks, which are two picks on the same game. Essentially what a handicapper is doing here is forecasting the scenario of how a single game will play out and betting on it in more than one way. A good example is to bet on the underdog and the under-the-total to hit or the over and the favorite. This also lessens the number of games you have to research in any given period of football handicapping. At Doc's, our betting experts will, from time to time, offer a parlay pick or teaser for College Football. While it is not common, because we need to find value on both lines for our readers before odds shift, we don't hesitate to identify this value and pass these selections to our clients.
College Football Playoff and Bowl Game Picks
The College Football Playoff and Bowl games might be the most exciting playoff format of any of the major American leagues. It's up there with March Madness which is said to have inspired the evolution from the single BCS Bowl game. It gives bettors extra games each season to bet on and more marquee matchups from rival conferences. Getting your best bets in early can make or break your Bowl Season. At Doc's, we make sure to handicap the early line allowing bettors the opportunity to bet on the most value or hunt for the better line as the week unfolds. College football bowl game picks from Doc's are one of the biggest assets a bettor can have each year!
